Re: dark, bass heavy, moody and atmospheric

Thanks Huggie mate, this friend of mine asked me for suggestions....he has been through a hell of a lot the past 6 yrs, so I appreciate it.

Re: dark, bass heavy, moody and atmospheric

sounds like he needs hard stuff !! [url="http://www.discogs.com/Cajmere-vs-Green-Velvet-Sessions/release/845872"]Cajmere vs Green Velvet - Sessions (CD) at Discogs[/url]

Re: dark, bass heavy, moody and atmospheric

Hmmm I don't really think of Saiz as dark but I suppose that's the difficulty with the subjectiveness of music.

Xhin does some really dark and heavy techno. Also check out the CLR podcasts, some of the guest mixes are dark and heavy too. Xhin has a guest mix. I think people like Tommy Four Seven or Terence Fixner as well.

Ben Klock's One was pretty dark if I remember correctly. CHLLNGR is moody and atmospheric. There's another guy that does almost classical style music in a very dark atmospheric style but for the life of me can't remember his name.

Re: dark, bass heavy, moody and atmospheric

The others that came to mind were Digweed's GU LA disc 2. Sasha - Involver and of course Airdrawndagger. Anything along the ADD lines is great. And I agree Feather, Henry Saiz I don't consider "dark" but it's bass heavy, atmospheric and moody. and just fucking great too :lol:

Moonlight Wolf definitely has that low proggy undercurrent come through beneath the melody:

.... of course, and Wolf music is great :

Re: dark, bass heavy, moody and atmospheric

First thing that came to mind was [URL="http://www.discogs.com/Surgeon-Fabric-53/master/270468"]Surgeon - Fabric 53 at Discogs[/URL] but if you consider Involver and ADD as dark and bass heavy then, well, you are probably looking for a completely different sound. ;)

Re: dark, bass heavy, moody and atmospheric

What he said :lol: I don't find Involver and ADD dark at all but agree with GU:LA.

Re: dark, bass heavy, moody and atmospheric

Cannot go wrong with this guy for some deep, base-driven tech.

Re: dark, bass heavy, moody and atmospheric

Si, Zero Gold was another that came to mind first. ;)

Re: dark, bass heavy, moody and atmospheric

ADD and involver are heavy and dark!!

actually thats what i wud listen too if i didnt want to hear something dark and heavy...

if this is the case then please dont listen to Moire..he will give u nightmares

Re: dark, bass heavy, moody and atmospheric

[COLOR=#00ffff][B][SIZE=2] dark, bass heavy, moody and atmospheric - of course opinions will vary. Perhaps I should have pointed out that this friend of mine is new to electronic music. Compared to Top 100 radio music, ADD is dark, bass heavy, moody and atmospheric imho. I've sent him many recommendations, it's been interesting to see what sticks. So far, involver1 and 3 have been winners. Whether or not that they fit the description, I certainly don't mind :lol: . [/SIZE][/B]

Re: dark, bass heavy, moody and atmospheric

Did you recommend Northern Exposure? Every person new to this needs it.

Re: dark, bass heavy, moody and atmospheric

Oooh I like the sounds of this thread... will need to give it a proper read on the weekend.
